Anthony, It is so interesting to observe your skilful resurrection of deep and meaningful ideas born of the greatest philosophers and in the process hold a mirror through which we can catch glimpses of ourselves and give us much needed perspective on how we live our polar lives.The avalanche of of real-time information can paralyse the 86 billion neurons neatly compacted into the 3 pounds of matter neatly positioned between our ears. About the same size as Plato's and Aristotle's actually. The need to stop, and think is obvious. In hindsight that is. Not so easy in our nanosecond multi platform always on world. Your beautiful article points us to that breathing space where we can recognise that maybe we are not that smart after all. Those old boys got a lot right without knowing the difference between a megabite and a kilowatt, nothing artificial about their intelligence. Thank you professor!
